Hello everyone, We are doing a research project on using sewage treatment plant sludge in soil remediation and cooperation with researchers in this field is welcome.
Hi
I don't know whether this is a question or an offer to cooperate.
Anyway, the sludge produced at wastewater (sewage) treatment plants could be several types. The primary sludge (produced in the detention tanks) is different from the seconday sludge (which is coming from biological (activated sludge) units). Each type of sludge has some impurities that could harm the soil.
This is a brief answer. If you need any in deep details please email me, I'll be happy to cooperate.
I have performed some studies on microbiological quality of sewage sludge including a risk assessment conducted on anaerobic digested sludge accidentally consumed by farmers and a systematic review. You can study these articles. Article Survey of Listeria monocytogenes Contamination of Various En...

I don't clearly understand the question but to my understanding i think that will depend on the content of the sludge because some contains heavy metals which may be toxic to the soil and may not not suit your purpose
Dear, I have been working on regulations related to the use of sludge in my country (Montenegro). The use depends on the quality of the sludge, as well as where it is applied. We have several plants for the treatment of cane sludge, which is of excellent quality, but has not yet been applied to remediation sites.
